...and for good reason.
Jerry Falwell, and people just like him seemed to be a big portion of this class, and similar to Lobdell's view, or at least what I have been able to take out from his lectures on how he feels about these kind of people, Christopher Hitchens also despises the man and everything he stands for. I do not blame him either, and every point he makes is right on target with the truth. Although I have to give Falwell props for attracting so many innocent victims to his cause, I do think that ultimately followings like the one he created, along with those of the Crouch's and Robertson and so on have a negative effect on politics and on the publics' lives. They used the media to manipulate the public through the use of religion which ultimately had an enormous effect on politics. Prime examples of why we have a class like this, to learn from what these blood-suckers did and ensure it does not happen to our generation.
